Top 10 most surprising Pride destinations from Misterb&b

Are you ready to surprise for Pride?

Data researchers at Misterb&b, the world’s largest LGBTQ+ travel community, have studied the browsing habits of queer travelers to learn more about where folks go to celebrate Pride.

Founder Matthieu Jost created Misterb&b after he and his partner were victims of homophobia and harassment while trying to rent a room during a vacation in Spain.

To help others avoid a similar experience, Misterb&b connects LGBTQ+ travelers with rentals and services provided by family and allies in their destinations.

In his most recent endeavor, Jost’s data researchers at Misterb&b examined SEO volume increases and discovered some familiar but still surprising destinations where we go to celebrate Pride.

In no particular order, here are the top 10 most surprising Pride destinations according to SEO volume increases.

You can learn more about the study as well as the services provided by Misterb&b at Misterbandb.com.
